Lemme be first, lemme be first.

Harry:

        It's kinda the difference between a BMW 1600 and a VW 1600.
Different design, manufacturer, and company.

        The MGA 1500 - MGB 1800 family was BMC

        The Triumph 1147 -1500 family was Standard Triumph

The Triumph 1500 engine was installed in the MG Midget in 75 to meet smog
requirements.  I can not think of any interchangable components.

Good question tho' don't feel dumb.

Kelvin.
